POApp Engine 401/403 Status Codes Not Working on WebApp2
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to raise a 401/403 status for when a user attempts to access something they don't have privileges to. I used the <a href="http://webapp-improved.appspot.com/guide/exceptions.html" rel="nofollow">Webapp2 Exceptions</a> example which generates the proper error codes for 404/500 "natural" events. Such as going to <a href="http://localhost:8080/nourl" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/nourl</a> generates the proper 404 and messing up code generates a 500. But when I use the method such as below to set the code using self.error(XXX) I see the code in the console but it does not show up in the browser. EG If you leave self.error() empty it generates the proper 500 code. If you use self.error(500) the console outputs:</p> <pre><code>INFO 2012-05-09 18:25:29,549 dev_appserver.py:2891] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 500 - </code></pre> <p>But the browser is completely blank. Below is an example app that exhibits this behaviour. Simply change the self.error() line to the desired code and run. The expected result would be that it generates the proper response to the browser based on the code supplied, not just when a "natural" event occurs such as 404.</p> <p>main.py</p> <pre><code>import webapp2 import wsgiref.handlers import logging from google.appengine.api import users class HomeHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler): def get(self): user = users.get_current_user() if user: self.response.out.write("Hi :1", user.nickname) else: self.error(401) app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([ (r'/', HomeHandler), ], debug=True) def handle_401(request, response, exception): logging.exception(exception) response.write("401 Error") response.set_status(401) def handle_403(request, response, exception): logging.exception(exception) response.write("403 Error") response.set_status(403) def handle_404(request, response, exception): logging.exception(exception) response.write("404 Error") response.set_status(404) def handle_500(request, response, exception): logging.exception(exception) response.write("500 Error") response.set_status(500) app.error_handlers[401] = handle_401 app.error_handlers[403] = handle_403 app.error_handlers[404] = handle_404 app.error_handlers[500] = handle_500 # Run the application def main(): app.run() </code></pre> <p>app.yaml</p> <pre><code>application: 401test version: 1 runtime: python27 api_version: 1 threadsafe: yes libraries: - name: webapp2 version: latest handlers: - url: /.* script: main.app </code></pre>

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
